THE LOWDOWN
NEWCASTLE
- Newcastle are set to usher in a new era against Tottenham with this match set to be the first under their new owners, however the Magpies remain inside the bottom three and must start picking up positive results soon having yet to win a league match so far this season.
- The hosts have key players such as striker Callum Wilson and midfielder Joe Willock available again although Miguel Almiron may not be risked due to the short turnaround between his international commitments and this match.
TOTTENHAM
- After a horrible run of three successive Premier League defeats, Tottenham got back to winning ways before the international break, beating Aston Villa 2-1 to ease the pressure on boss Nuno Espirito Santo.
- Full backs Matt Doherty and Ben Davies could miss out here through injury, whilst a number of players could find themselves rested following international commitments late in the week.
THE TEAM NEWS
NEWCASTLE
PREDICTED XI (4-1-4-1): Darlow; Ritchie, Lascelles, Fernandez, Manquillo; S. Longstaff; Murphy, Willock, Hayden, Saint-Maximin; Wilson
UNAVAILABLE: Dubravka (Injured), Dummett (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Almiron (Rested), Woodman (Injured)
TOTTENHAM
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Lloris; Emerson, Rodon, Dier, Reguilon; Hojbjerg, Skipp; Lucas Moura, Ndombele, Son; Kane
UNAVAILABLE: Sessegnon (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Davies (Injured), Doherty (Injured), Lo Celso (Rested), Romero (Rested), Emerson (Rested), Sanchez (Rested)
THE PREDICTION
A euphoric atmosphere among the home fans at St. James’ Park is expected to greet the Newcastle players here with the recently completed takeover almost certain to have given the players a huge boost ahead of this game. Whilst Tottenham boast the stronger squad, key striker Harry Kane has struggled having not yet found the net in this season’s Premier League. When taking into account the expected fighting spirit that Newcastle will show in this match, combined with a home crowd who will create a hugely partisan atmosphere in support of the home side, the Magpies could well pick up a positive result in this match and backing Newcastle via the double chance market may prove to be a shrewd play.
Tip: NEWCASTLE TO WIN OR DRAW
